And I'll bet," she added breathlessly, "you can tell me exactly where it was that Kate waited for me across the gulley, and which ankle it was that she sprained so I had to almost carry her back to the house, and why, I wouldn't be one bit surprised if you could tell me what I put on it!" "No," Hank confessed feebly, "I guess I couldn't just figure all that out, not offhand like."
A sudden breeze carried their dust ahead, and for a moment the prospect was obscured, the trees that filled the gulley, bunched at the summit into a thicket, just discernible in foggy outline. The horses had gained the level, Jim Bailey, who knew the road in his sleep, had cheered them with a familiar chirrup, when the leaders stopped, recoiling in a clatter of slackened harness on the wheelers.
Out in the Arizona mountains one may journey day after day in July or August, and all through the fall and winter, and cross gulley, gorge, ravine, cañon and water cross and find them all dry as a bone not a drop of water running. It is useless to dig below the surface, as one could do in sandy soil and find water, for it is all rock.

The floor of the lavatories is sloping cement, and the water drains away through a gulley between the two rows of baths. Prisoners can get hot water from the kitchen when they need it.

She went on till she came to a dip, or gulley, when a break in the cliff occurred. A steep path led down the centre to the beach. She heard the sound of wheels, with the stamp of horses' feet, as if the animals had started forward impatiently and been checked, and there was also the murmur of several voices. Suddenly a light flashed close to her. "Oh, Ned Dore, is that you?" she exclaimed.
Ratcliffe was conscience-struck, and could not forbear making an involuntary protest against this classification. "I never shed blood," he replied. "But ye hae sauld it, Ratton ye hae sauld blood mony a time. Folk kill wi' the tongue as weel as wi' the hand wi' the word as weel as wi' the gulley!
In another moment and Ellen hardly saw how, it was so quick John had dismounted, taken Mr. Saunders by the collar, and hurled him quite over into the gulley at the side of the road, where he lay at full length without stirring. "Ride on, Ellen!" said her deliverer. She obeyed.
